Empowering Youth through Tourism!

YOUTH TOURISM

“Pakistan is proud of her youth, particularly the students who have always been in the forefront in the hour of trial and need. You are the nation’s leaders of tomorrow and you must fully equip yourself by discipline, education and training for the arduous task lying ahead of you. You should realise the magnitude of your responsibility and be ready to bear it.”

Our youth are our greatest asset

“The role of youth is pivotal in making a new Pakistan. In Punjab, a major portion of the population consists of youth and the government is committed to empowering it in the real sense. Investment on youth is the priority of the government because youth have tremendous potential. Pakistani youth has brought laurels home and the nation has attached many expectations to the youth. The objectives of the new Pakistan will be achieved by providing resources and opportunities for the empowerment of the youth.

Tourism is an industry where young ambitious people can progress and develop. You may learn teamwork, communication skills and leadership capabilities blended with excitement and life changing experiences. Further, you have the opportunity to witness our heritage, civilization, culture, values and interaction from diverse range of people in an enjoyable industry”.
